This method covers all stops positioned on seat belts in the vehicle. The function of the stop is to prevent too much strap from rolling onto the bobbin, making the belt difficult to operate and handle.

The stop must be positioned in the center of the belt at a distance of XXXX mm from the end mounting.

Check that the belt does not fray when the spike on the stop is pressed through the belt.

Thread the cover onto the stop.

Press the sections together as much as possible.

WARNING: The seat belt material must not be overheated or it will melt. If this happens, the entire seat belt assembly must be replaced.
